Poor OP, everyone is questioning the validity of this horn parasites reproductive strategies. The post is quite funny and I'm using it in a session lol
It wouldn't inject eggs into a new host of the same species, it would either directly lay new eggs or find another species to inject.
Maybe the only can be approached by a virgin thing is just them seeking out a healthy human host...

Why does it injest eggs off of the grass if the adult injects them into another's throat? Other than that, dope.

Also what's the point of the adult emerging when it's already reproduced? How is there any selection pressure to do that

He horse is not the same species as the “unicorn” which is the horn-worm itself

This doesn't explain how the eggs got on the grass strands in the first place.

How do the eggs get onto the grass?

If a parasite starts its cycle in the grass then ends its cycle in the grass.
